Yours Truly,
ROBERT X. HEMPIIILL.
To JAMES S. PERRIN. ESQ.

1t will be observed that the Senator
does not answer a single one Of the qucs-
tons asked in the circulnr-iottar. The
only object in addressing these letters
to our Representatives and Senator Was
to find ont the manner in which these
appointments were made. Why, then,
does Senator Hemphill seek to avoid our
questions in this manner? Is he avcrsc
to letting the people know what he did
do in Columbia? 1t is true thai he as
sumes tho responsibility for the various
appointments. but does he tell us how
he assumed that responsibility? Does
he give US any information concerning
the caucus which the delegation are sup
posed to have held? Does he tell us
whether the Governor knew he (Srnatur
flcmphlID was acting alone and upon his
own responsibility when he handed him
the names Of the different appointces?
These are the facts we want To get Mt.
The Governor is primarily responsible
for the appointments, and il he has acted
upon insufficient information. we ought
to be appraised Of it. Ii, however, he
has been imposed upon, the people Of
this county have the right to know who
did it and how it was done. Capable
and efficient officers, whom the people
by their petitions said they desired to be
kept i'll Office, have been. removed, and
no cause has been assigned therefor. Is
Senator Hemphill afraid to give the rea-
sons for their removal? Does it tinge
too much Of craftsmanship? 1t looks very
much this way to a casual observer. Lot
the Senator answer our questions di-
rectly, and we will have the information
we want, and he ought not to mind our
structures upon his official acts.
We desire to cast no reflection upon
the gentlemen who have been appointed
to these various Offices. So rhr as we
know they are honest. capable and eff
Gent. 1t is the manner Of their appoint
ment we are criticising, and this we con
ceive to be nc concern Of theirs.

GETTING AT THE TRUTH.

For several weeks we have been ut.
tempting through the columns Of the
MESSENGER to get some information from
our Sei,at" and Representatives relative
to tho appointment Of Trial Justices in
this county. .n" of them, however,
raid any attention t" the printed inter
rn"atorirS III the MESSENGER. Last week
We determined to address each one indi-
vidually on the subject, and accordingly
had the following circular-lrttcr printed.
which, we sent to cach one through the
mail.
OFFICE OF TIE ABHEvILLE MEssEHGEK.)
J. :. PERRIN, Proprietor,
ABBEvILLc, &C., Feb. 3, 1897
My DEAR Sir: Your are aware of the fact
That considerable comment most of it not
favorable has been caused in various parts
Of the county concerning the recent appoint
ncnt of Trail Justices. My object in adj
dressing you is to obtain some information on
this subject. That information will be fur
nishcd me by answering the following qucs-
tons:
/. Was a caucus of the Delegation from
this county held during the session of the
Legislative, to recommend to the Governor
suitable persons. to fill the Offices to which
the power of appointment was invested i'll
him?
2. If so, at whose request was said caucus
held?
3. Were the recommendations made by the
caucus adhered to in the list of appointments
cent to the Governor, and by him sent to the
Senate for confirmation? IF rot, please give
the instances in which the action ofthc Dclega-
ton was disrngardcd?
"a. Is it not customary for tho entire DeleEn-
ton from n county to recommend the various
persons for appointment by the Governor and
arc not the names of the persons sn appointed
Governor, with this undci standing?
); Was this not the understanding of the
Governor, in the recent appointments made for
Abbcvillc County.
6. DO You know Of any reasons why the re-
COMMUNICATIONS of the Delegation should have
been disrcgardcd?.
Any other facts that You can give rue with
regard to this matter will be greatly apprcci-
atcd. Yours very respectfully,
JAMES :. PERRIN.
